What the numbers say
In 2025, Belgium's exports of goods and services (current LCU) fell 1.5% on 2024 (from 491.71 billion to 484.4 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +5.1% and a typical year strayed about 7.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 29.2% in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was 16.2% in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 19.38 billion a year. A straight line explains 76% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 573.62 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 19.71 billion, against 38.48 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
